As the crow flies

Down whirling eddies
of wicked winds,
across shadow-cast mountains
and eager, hushed valleys,
’til I alight at your window
and find you waiting, hungrily.

Flightless

Their bitter, criticizing words
swung down like clubs and crops and swords
until the blows and cuts and stings
left tatters of what once were wings.

Romance

When pillow sisters
and blood brothers whisper oaths
beneath the may pole,
sweet spring-time fairytales bloom
into full-blown summer dreams.

Crashing

At the end of the day
I flow through the traffic,
rise up the winding staircase
break through the bedroom door
crash upon the sheets
and I’m asleep before my head hits the pillow.

Late

Leisurely he mounts
An iron horse, long-tamed,
To meander through the winding streets
Endless in the morning haze.

Seduction

Crimson kisses
for sultry lips,
eager promises
from curving hips.

Sweetest sin
in your caress,
let us begin:
slip off your dress.

Dive

Step up to the line,
gather your courage, and leap
into the deep dark.

Concrete

A house,
built with fine wood
and the sturdiest frame,
can weather the worst of the world
unless
you fill it with toxic people
who crack the foundation
with bitter words
and tears.

News, changes, and other fun stuffs

There’s no easy way to say this:  recent events have left me without a job.  It was a bit of a surprise but, in a way, I’d been expecting it for a while.  I’ll be alright but I’m adjusting at the moment.

That being said, I now have additional time on my hands to write and I intend to use it.  So…

1) I’ll be catching up on some writing prompts I’ve promised I would complete (I didn’t forget Andrea)

2) I will try to increase how much I post in a week – no promises to the volume though.  I do have job searching to do.

3) I will get better about answering messages on my feed.  I usually replied to them privately but I do reply – don’t be shy folks 😉  Let me know if you don’t want something posted publicly though.

4) If you would like to help, I would appreciate if you bought a copy of my book.  You can purchase it from the Kindle store here or request one of the remaining hard copies (limited number remaining – first come, first served)

5) Submit a request.  I’d like to hear what you lovely people would like to see 🙂

Also, I’ll be around on Skype today if anyone wants to pop in and say “hi”.  My name there is Deuscain.
